Hospitals and Healthcare
There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

Patient-centred care: a Copernican shift to the centre of gravity | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it
To be truly patient-centric, we need to take the radical step of dismantling the structures that already exist in the different care teams to make each of the parts separately more efficient, and really design from scratch a single system that does put the patient at the centre, writes Erwin Loh
